It is already an option, although that may not be obvious enough.
Go into a folder that is doing View as Music. Choose "View as...". Select
View as Music and then "Modify". Change it to "Include in the menu for
'folder' items". Then "OK" and "Choose".
Now go visit other music folders. You'll see that they default to View as
Icon, not View as Music.
I just tried it so I know that it works at least for me.
